Hey, Wozger-Fams, Guy Ros and Mindy here, and before we start the show.

“It does a pretty good job of taking care of all of us, so let's all remember to take care of it, too.”
That's it, now let's get back to the show.
Happy Earth Day, to you, happy Earth Day, to you, happy Earth Day, to you, happy Earth Day. Happy Earth Day, to you, happy Earth Day, to you, happy Earth Day. Happy Earth Day, to you, happy Earth Day, to you, happy Earth Day, to you, happy Earth Day. So good to be back home, really, Mr. Buddy. Yeah, Guy and I were at a week-long climate crusader training, and now we're equipped with everything we need to save our planet. What? I even got a key. It's gonna be a beautiful day. That's gonna be a scorch or a day today. Wait, what? That's right, Kale, on today's top story, here on planet Earth, hot is about to get in.
“And that's not all, meteorologists everywhere are predicting massive storms and even flooding, and other words time to get out the canoes, because what is about to get even wetter?”
Oh, hot and rainy? We need to turn up the air conditioning in this gingerbread mansion to keep it from melting. I don't know, just turn it as cold as it'll go, and then leave it running at full blast all day long. And then plug in all of my electric blankets so that we can pile them on top of us to stay warm while we're inside this freezing gingerbread mansion. But then leave the refrigerator door open to cool us off when the electric blankets make us too hot. And then, get out all of the space heaters and plug them in to warm us back up again.
Ooh, but then turn on all the ceiling fans to cool us off from the space heaters. And then, call everyone over for an emergency neighborhood meeting, so I can tell everyone how they can be a climate crusader and save our planet. Ooh, because as we've got to save our planet, Reggie, this isn't important. Ooh, now I got to open all the windows to let the heat from the outside warm up the inside of the gingerbread mansion. It's freezing in here with an air conditioner running at full blast.
Oh, hi, Mandy. Are you practicing karate on your windows again? Yeah, hey, Dennis, what are you doing right now? Just working on the lawn is time for the daily green washing.
Daily green washing? Yeah, first I put a bunch of dangerous pesticides on my yard to keep away the bugs, and then I put fertilizers down to help my flowers grow.
And I spray paint the grass cream with these cans of greens, spray paint, spray spray. Ah, I love nature. Ah, okay, well hurry up. We need to have an emergency neighborhood meeting about how to protect our planet. Fine, I'll be right over up in this. Okay, grass, it's time to get green.
“There you go. Easy does it. There after you have to just grow real more. And stop.”
Huh, your fingerlings daily delivery. Okay, I've got a delivery of 75 boxes of Bobo Beanie Boppers for Thomas Fingerlick. Now, you, this is a lot of Bobo Beanie Boppers. You collect there or something. Sure am. Every day I order 75 boxes. We've all the Beanie Boppers I don't have. And throw away the doubles. You throw away the doubles.
Of course I throw away the doubles.
You. Hey, Thomas Fingerlick. What now, Mandy? We're having an emergency neighborhood meeting of the climate crusaders. Climate crusaders, hey. Well, maybe you can do something about all this heat. I can't even sort through my move to Beanie Boppers without sweating all over the place. What in the? That's enough, say it out of you, tree. Oh boy. What are you doing? That's my oak tree. I'm not like the way it was looking at me. Looking at you, it's a tree.
Yeah, it was thrown, say it at me. He can't just grow on the neighborhood shopping down trees. Oh, we need their shade to cool things down.
“And we need them to soak up some of the carbon pollution in the atmosphere. Well, where's it coming from in the first place?”
Well, it's coming from things like Thomas Fingerlick's daily freight truck deliveries. Do you know how far the things we order have to travel to get to our front doors? No. Well, hey, guys. Grandma G4 is quick. Come over to my gingerbread mansion. Yes. We're having an emergency neighborhood climate crusaders meeting.
Well, okay. Okay, but first I need to weed my vegetable garden.
What vegetables? Oh, I see our bunch of rotten cucumbers and lunch revel up a little tighter. Wait, what? Come here a little tighter. I'll stint light you up. Oh, well, it used to be a beautiful vegetable garden, but then I got too busy to take care of it. And now it's just a bunch of rotting vegetables. And they smell like tubes. Well, that's because of all the methane gas they're releasing into the atmosphere.
Ah, what a waste. So, you coming or not? I'm coming. I'm coming. Grandma G4, she's coming too. Only if you push me in this willy barrel, it's too hot to walk. - Uh, hop on in.
- Get it up, brun.
“- Walk and walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk.”
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
(crowd cheering)
- Oh, welcome everyone to Mindy's first ever emergency meeting
of the neighborhood climate crusaders. - Wow. - What's a crusader? - Now, as you may have noticed, our world is changing. - Get it, it's all over. - Oh, yeah, that's good.
- That is good, it's by me. - Wild weather events, like storms, floods, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, like the planet is going bonkers. - Yeah, that's good. - That's good, that's good.
- That's good. - Ah, good.
- But, as the president of our neighborhood climate crusaders
club, I have gathered you all here to say that together, we can make the changes we need for a brighter future. - Yes, yes, yes, yes, and it all starts by chopping down all those shady trades with my bare hands. - What?
No. - Well, hum. You may not know this, but planet Earth is our home. - No, the diaper house on 5th of my home. - No, the diaper house is your house.
Plan it Earth where your diaper house sits is your home. And it's home to all of us. And we all have to work together to take care of it. - A house will have to move to another planet. - Ooh, why do I have to sound loud, Mandy?
“- How many blue blue rainy moppers can I fit on Mars?”
- I'm not sure you all realize how special our home here on Earth really is. - Yeah, you tell him, Guy Roz. - Well, of all the planets in the solar system, Earth is the only planet with the perfect temperature
for us to live. It's not too hot like Venus, and it's not too cold like Uranus. - Yeah, and that's because our home planet Earth has this invisible blanket of heat-trap and gases
that trap just the right amount of heat for us humans to live here. - Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. - I mean, these right, we couldn't live on Mercury because it's blanket is too thin,
so it gets too hot in the sun, but too cold in the shade. - And Venus's blanket is way too thick, so it gets way too hot. - Which brings us back to Earth
where that invisible blanket is just right. - May to keep us not too hot and not too cold. - But, here comes Mindy's big butt. - As you may have noticed, our world is getting hotter.
- Oh, I know this.
- Oh, I know this.
- Mission with that invisible blanket.
I wanna know. - Yeah, post the troublemaker. - Hmph, well, we are. (dramatic music) - What?
- How? - Well, in all sorts of ways, we humans are adding more pollution
“in the form of heat, trapping gases into the atmosphere,”
and we're making that invisible blanket thicker. - I do not even know how to do that. - Yeah, we neither. - Well, we're all doing it in ways that we probably don't even know.
- And once we know better, we can work together to do better, for our world and for each other. - Okay, so where's all this pollution coming from? How am I, Dennis?
Possibly harming the environment.
- Great question, Dennis. This extra pollution is coming from all sorts of things, like how we make and use electricity. - Oh, you mean like running my air conditioner at full blast all day, every day,
while keeping the windows open and turning on all the fans, but also the space heaters and leaving the refrigerator door open. - Um, yeah, that's actually a great example, Mindy. - Right, gee, I told you that was a waste of electricity.
- But this pollution also comes from transportation or how we get around. - Oh, like my gas puzzling, ice cream truck.
“- Well, maybe you should convert it to electric power.”
- Oh, good idea, Thomas Fingerling. - And pollution also comes from how we manufacture or make things. - Oh, like how factory makes my mountain of blue blue rainy bobbers.
- Oh, yeah, probably. - No, leave the bobbers out of this. - And pollution also comes from how we use our land, how we change it and take care of it. - Like how I spray paint my dead grass to look me?
- Well, uh, I ain't talking about me chopping down all the neighborhood tree. - That is becoming a problem in our neighborhood. - Well, I was like, the point is all of these acts and all of this pollution
are building up in the atmosphere and making the planet hotter. - And a hotter planet changes our climate, meaning more storms and floods and droughts and wildfires, things that change how we live.
- And it's impacting all of us and some more than others. - I would like to make an announcement. - Uh, yes, grandma, G-force. - I would like to say, I am sorry to all of the trees I chopped down for given me shade.
- Oh, and I would like to apologize for buying more blue blue rainy bobbers than anyone person could ever need. - And also, sorry, for throwing the doubles into landfills. - Yeah, but I would like to tell the earth
that I'm sorry for using all those harmful chemicals on my yard and for spray painting my dead grass. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry for letting my vegetable garden go to waste. - Ooh, and I'm sorry for building
an unsustainable gingerbread mansion waste a ton of electricity to heat and cool. - Oh, for shame. - But listen up, everyone. The important thing is not to focus
on what we've individually done to contribute to pollution or climate change in the past or even the present. - Yeah, the important thing is to focus on what changes we can make together for a brighter future.
- Because if we work together to take better care of our home planet, our home planet can take better care of us.
- And the first step is learning all we can
about climate change and its causes. So we can share what we learn with others. Because when we know better, we do better. - And while what we do individually matters, what we do together in our families, in our schools,
and communities matters even more. - Oh, I know, I'm a top contributor on the neighborhood snoopscope online website. I'll go on there and gossip about all the ways we can stop wasting electricity and stop buying too much stuff
and stop spray painting our yards.
“- I'm not sure that's what gossip is, but sure.”
Talk about it all you want, wherever you want. The important thing is to spread the word, Dennis. (laughing) - And while you're at it, maybe you can gossip about ways we can get more energy from renewable resources
like the sun and wind. - Hi, Captain. Okay, logging in and ready to gossip about the environment. - And I'm gonna go stand outside the trees and protect them from anyone who tries to chop 'em down with their bare hands.
- I'm pretty sure you're the only one who's been doing that around here, but sure. - Yeah. - And maybe talk nicely about the trees to other people. - What?
- Talk about how good they are at soaking up carbon pollution and compliment them loudly on providing shades so that we don't have to use as much electricity to cool things down. (laughing)
- Oh, this is all good gossip for snoopscope online.
(laughing)
“- Hey, everyone, did you hear about the L tree on first street?”
She got a great new pear trim. Let's all be cool and plant her some new tree friends to hang out with. Post. - And I'm gonna get my old film making gear
and make a documentary about the life-cycle of a boo-boo-boo-boo-boo in your bumper. (cheering) - Little start with how the materials are made and with what it takes to get a finished boo-boo-boo
baby bumper to my front door.
- Wow, that's so amazing.
And I'm gonna contact the leaders of our neighborhood schools to talk about how food waste and cafeterias is impacting our planet. And maybe offer to invite students and teachers to my vegetable garden to help maintain harvest
and eat the vegetables grown in it. - Oh, man, now that's a good idea. - And I'm gonna continue to host more community
“climate crusaders meetings just like this one.”
Encouraging all of us to get out there in the world to use our voices to spread the word on how we can work together to create a brighter future for our planet and ourselves. - Because when we know better, we do better.
- And it's all gonna be better and brighter when we do it together. (cheering)
- Climate crusaders, this meeting is adjourned.
Now, let's get out there and stop spreading the grass. - What? - Well, I was gonna suggest we spread the word on working together to protect our planet, but, sure, we can stop spray painting our grass, too.
Now, who's with me climate crusaders? (cheering) - Wow, in the world, we'll be right back. - Great ups, this message is for you. - Greetings, Earthlings.
I am called Flip. - And you can call me Mose. - And we are extra terrestrials what you may call space, aliens.
“- Flip, you can't just blur it out like that.”
The humans will get freaked out and think we're weird. - Regardless, our star crews are broke down,
and we've got to wait 3,000 years
for the repair ship to show up. So while we're waiting, we decided to make a podcast, all about exploring your planet. - We particularly enjoy interacting with many of the Earthlings you call animals,
like giraffes, pandas, hunt, penguins. (laughing) - On our podcast feed, we transmit different kinds of episodes back to our home planet, and to all of you.
You can hear musical episodes, travel pod interviews, and our newest addition to the feed are many pods. - We are calling postcards for Earth. - Experience life on Earth in a whole new way. Check out Flip and Mose wherever you get your podcasts.
- Yeah, experience life on Earth in a whole new way with your favorite travel blogging aliens. Subscribe to Flip and Mose wherever you get your podcasts and listen to their postcards from Earth. Every other Thursday in the Flip and Mose podcast feed.
